Lots of history in this week s mailbag including the beautifully restored Solon House in Champaign, the beloved Wheats Steak House in Urbana, a totem pole in Homer and an addition to the venerable Red Lion in Campustown.
Also, a lot of information about the University of Illinois plans to expand its quick, inexpensive COVID testing program; the new county treasurer s plans to fix problems in the office; recycling in Mahomet; programming a weather station and some Champaign street issues.
